Training Notes
Good session. Deadlifts were light as hell. Now, time to get to work. Also, as it's been a long time since I did 531, I will be making a new log in the private section. Pendlay rows were different compared to the style I did over the summer. I don't think I ever videoed them, though my pendlay rows over the summer were sumo stance and no momentum (so very 'pure' row style) and my current Pendlay rows are conventional stance with an initial deadlift pull into the actual row (very explosive).

Training Notes
Still haven't made the video from monday's training, I'll get to that later, and then finish my Java program for tomorrow, that just has some logic error(s). Then plow through some reading, and possibly start on a lab due next week.

Today's training went well, though HERC410 was having some strange pain in his left shoulder, which effected deadlifting. I felt a weird pain in my hip capsule area after beginning squats, and that's about all to be said.

Training Notes
Video coming later.
I'm typing this up from System Programming class, where my quiet prof is teaching us about shells, shell scripts, and shell commands. In the past 3 lectures, I'd be amazed if I paid him full attention for 5 minutes, sitting in the back with bad hearing and a quiet prof is not exactly a good recipe. First I must finish the Data Structures lab due tomorrow (Everything is done except the final portion of the code and testing). After that, my Java assignment for Thursday, which I haven't started, and then reading up to current on System Programming. But enough on that. After listening to the most recent episode of the EFS podcast, I've resolved to begin including more details in my training log and blog, as well as personal thoughts. The key portion of the podcast I'm referring to is where Dave Tate spoke of how he recorded more than just numbers in his old training logs.

At the current time in training, HERC410 and I are finally embarking on our new cycle for real. We've taken what we already had, did some adjusting on Klokov Press, and are replacing our deadlift training with the Hepburn-esque routine I used over the summer. If I think of anything else to add, I'll edit this post or append it to the next training log post.

Great session. I went in planning to 'go easy' and ended up getting into the mood for deadlift PRs. 405 was easy, 435 was still easy, 455 I surprised myself, and 465 felt like a mildly tough effort. Kept on going, got a klokov press PR. Definitely an "Alpha Day".
